Palm OS is interesting. I'm not surprised HP decided to put it on the back burner and try to license it because, in the end, it has to compete with iOS. I don't think it's quite good enough to do that - especially with the huge amount of applications it lacks, but it should be fun to experiment...

This OS is wonderful, but has yet to gain the support needed to thrive from app developers.
